Rep. Cline Hosts Annual Sixth District Agriculture Conference

VIRGINIA, Va. (VR) – Today, Congressman Ben Cline (VA-06) hosted his annual Agriculture Conference, visiting multiple agriculture operations and facilities across Virginia’s Sixth Congressional District.

Rep. Cline toured multiple locations in Augusta and Rockbridge counties including MC Livestock operation and Shenandoah Valley Agricultural Research and Extension Center at McCormick Farm.

“Virginia’s Sixth District is home to some of the most knowledgeable and hard-working farmers in the country,” Rep.
